Nairaland / General / Xenophobia: South Africa’s President Attacked At Mugabe’s Funeral by EasternTimes: 8:28pm On Sep 14, 2019
The president of South Africa, Cyril Ramaphosa, was jeered and whistled at, on Saturday, during his speech at Zimbabwe’s ex-Leader, Robert Mugabe’s funeral, before he apologised for the recent xenophobic attacks in his country.

At least 12 people have been killed this month, in a surge in violence and mob attacks against foreign-owned businesses, in and around Johannesburg, South Africa’s largest city.

A wave of jeers, boos, and whistles, interrupted Ramaphosa at the Harare National Stadium, as he started his eulogy at the State funeral for Mugabe, who died age 95, last week.

“I stand before you as a fellow African, to express my regret and apologise for what has happened in our country”, Ramaphosa said after one of the organisers tried to calm the crowd.
His comments were met with cheers and blasts of sound horns from the crowd.

South Africa, the continent’s second largest economy, is a major destination for other African migrants. However, they are often targeted by some locals, who blame them for lack of jobs.
With shops and homes continuously burned and looted, and clashes between armed mobs of looters and Police, hundreds of migrants from Mozambique and Zimbabwe, have fled to shelters.

Nigeria’s government has flown around 600 of its citizens home from Johannesburg, after some of them were targeted in the violence.

Nairaland / General / I Taught Lionel Messi How To Score - Diego Maradona by EasternTimes: 11:36am On Sep 09, 2019
Lionel Messi is arguably the finest free-kick taker in world football, and Diego Maradona claims he must take some of the credit for the Barcelona star’s stunning record.

The 1986 World Cup winner spent time working with the five-time Ballon d’Or winner when in charge of the Argentina national team between 2008 and 2010.

Messi was already a global superstar by that point, but was considered to have areas of his game that could be improved.

Maradona set about trying to play some small part in the ongoing development of a man who will take up a standing alongside him as an all-time great when an iconic career comes to a close.

One Argentine legend says he passed on words of advice to another when it comes to the art of set-pieces, with Messi having benefited from simple training ground instructions.

“I coached the best, Messi, and nobody can tell me otherwise, because he was able to skip past up to five players – a phenomenon,” Maradona, the new boss of Gimnasia de La Plata, told reporters.

“He had an issue with free-kicks. When we finished every training session, we kept Leo behind so he could practice, and he started to hit the post.

“I didn’t teach him how to take a free-kick, then he asked me how I was able to score.

“I said, ‘you just have to hit it in the middle. They aren’t going to give me an Oscar to teach you this’.

“And he replied, ‘but I hit it in the middle and the ball goes this way or that way’ and I told him, ‘don’t worry, you’re going to make it’. Now he just can’t miss.”

Having helped to keep Messi on the path to greatness, Maradona is now taking on another challenge in his homeland.

He has returned to coaching with Gimnasia after a spell in Mexico with Dorados de Sinaloa.

The 58-year-old is confident that he can make a positive impact in a new post, but is eager to point out that he cannot work miracles and needs everybody to buy into his vision.

Maradona added: “I can’t promise anything. As I told the players, I’m not a magician.

“The welcome you gave me would be enough for me, but it’s not, I want more.

“I told the club president that I want to take all day tomorrow to confirm the staff and the schedule for next week before our game against Racing.”

Politics / Just In! IPOB Deputy Leader React Over Sowore's Arrest By DSS by EasternTimes: 12:41pm On Aug 03, 2019
The Deputy leader of The Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB) Mazi Uche Okeafor Mefor has responded to the arrest of Sowore over planned revolution in Nigeria.

His Statements Reads:







Regardless of the shinanighans , the godforsaken Lugardian project must fall. The purported arrest of Sowore should be a wake up call for genuine freedom lovers across board in that hellish contraption called Nigeria. Biafrans don't betray, if the west and the middle belt are serious, these Fulani supporter of APC terrorists in charge of our daily affairs cannot get away with this. It shall be a combination of paralysis of both economic and government activities and staging of revolutionary protests from these axisis ( Middlebelt, South west and the whole of Biafraland). Despite the reservations on the announcement of the date for this "revolution",in advance, Biafrans would not close their eyes, they shall always fight injustice wherever they see it, this is one such injustice with its attendant inhumane and degrading treatment against the oppressed. MACBAN's terror military wing (Fulani Herdsmen) have on occasions threatened everyone on national television and they were celebrated as "Nationalists and Patriots", the oppressed woke up to their excesses and they are being mowed down. Yoruba youths and their political class must get ready this time around (only and only if) they are serious!

Politics / Release El-zakzaky Now Or - European Union To Nig. Government by EasternTimes: 10:04am On Jul 28, 2019
Delegations of European Union to Nigeria has expressed worries over the continued incarceration and detention of Ibrahim El-Zakzaky who is the leader of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria.

“The EU Heads of Mission note that the decision by a Federal High Court in Abuja ordering Mr. Ibrahim El-Zakzaky’s immediate release from custody by the State Security Service has not been enforced.
“The EU underlines the universality of fundamental human rights, which includes the right to a fair trial and freedom from arbitrary detention. We find it worrying that Mr. Zakzaky has been detained for more than a year without having been brought to Justice.
“We therefore urge the Nigerian authorities to ensure Mr. Zakzaky is released in accordance with the ruling of the court or is charged formally in accordance with Nigerian law and faces an impartial and balanced trial without further delay,” the statement said.
The EU said it is important that the findings made by all past or ongoing investigations into the violence that occurred in Zaria in December 2015 are published.

According to the statement gathered by Eastern Times, EU urged that all those responsible for the violence must be prosecuted according to the law and that anyone found guilty must be sentenced accordingly.
“The right to peaceful assembly and association, as well as the right to free speech is enshrined in the Nigerian Constitution. The EU Heads of Mission also remind Nigeria that it is essential to promote religious tolerance and respect religious rights.
“We will continue to follow the judicial situation of Mr. Zakzaky and his wife closely,” EU head commission added.
